Earlier I posted some awesome keyboard shortcuts for windows and lately I found this amazing list of Gmail shortcuts. Most of the shortcuts listed are new to me, I hardly knew them, I guess you too won’t know these shortcuts.

To use the shortcuts below, you need to turn these case sensitive shortcuts, on and off from your Gmail Account settings page.

c – Hitting the “c” button on your keyboard takes you to the compose page. You can try “shift + c” to write your message in a new window.
/ – It takes your cursor to the search box on the top of your Gmail account.
n – Takes you to the next message. You can ht enter to expand or collapse the message.
p – Takes you to the previous message.
e – archives you conversation.
s – stars your message or a conversation
